I doubt they'd be "cutting it down" because a TV anime isn't really much less work these days (nor does an anime movie imply that it's so much better quality).

It's obviously not going to be any Akira... but the animation quality should easily be the best stuff SHAFT has put out... and seeing Neko get finished before this (and it would have a similar running time) when it's a tv special.... well I say that would indicate Kizu's production values are much higher. Neko takes place after Kizu, stuff in it doesn't make as much sense without Kizu, and it was started well after Kizu.. yet will beat it to the punch easily...

Seems Zen is hinted for Fall... lol if this doesn't air before that... and we are going to be getting Neko > Zen > Kizu regardless because the BD for this has f all chance of coming out before Fall.

Remember y'all: even if Kizu gets made and displayed by June, we still have to wait for a BD, and that means 6 months to up to a year of wait.

That in turn means that we'll be either midway in the Koimonogatari arc, or after whole Zen. The darkest scenario is that we will get the last season in mid-2014, and still no Kizu...

I wonder how they will explain

Spoiler for Neko White spoilurz:

the brief episode with Episode

in Hanekawa's arc, and the Shinobu arc as a whole WITHOUT Kizu... It will be a sore thumb sticking out a room full of amputees, or a gaping void if you prefer...

Anywayz...
Read the Kizumonogatari novel FFS! It's a light read in PDF format, (380-something pages, but you have spaces between lines) and for a little help just watch the first minute of Bakemonogatari in stop frame mode, so you'll have an idea how most of the stuff looked like.

Maybe if we're lucky Aniplex will release the movie outside of Japan. They do it with Madoka so I don't see why not Kizu. But Kizu maybe has too much blood and titties so it would be rated R I don't know.

Considering how long it took for Bakemonogatari to actually get picked up in the states, I am not really so sure of this :/.
